Yes!!Pics of my plethora of outlets?
BTW I have 20 outlets on that one wall.....(3) doubles over the bench, a double at floor level by the front overhead door and 2 singles at floor level behind the wire shelves.Awesome!! Yeah, my bigass garage had a whole ONE outlet when I moved in... thankfully, the sub-panel from when the basement was finished is right on the front wall of the garage, and had plenty of free spots, and plenty of cable capacity.. I added 3 -20amp circuits out there, and can still put in 220 whenever I get something that needs it, as I already have the second leg to the panel. Same with my shed wiring I installed last year.
I think I put 10 or 11 outlets in the garage and the shed is just ridiculous. I think there are 7, plus an exterior one, in 120sq ft. [emoji23][emoji1787] but I do use the shed as a half a shop all the time.
And I’m with 89Suburban... I hate texturing. The drywall and taping isn’t so bad but the texture. Bah..! I did get pretty good at orangepeel texture at my old house, but this one is knockdown and I just cannot get it right.
Did you do your own electrical? Over here to do anything you need a permit, then it's inspected by the town. Don't get caught doing any improvements without a permit!!This wall came out pretty decent for 2 coats of mud and just primer. There will be no lack of outlets over my workbench, and I added a switched outlet for under cabinet lighting that I’ll install after I build a cabinet over the bench. I have 2 more 8’ led lights coming today and I’ll get rid of the final fluorescent. Amazon delivered the first pair of them a few days after they were scheduled so they let me request a refund. So that set cost me nothing instead of the $140 they listed for.

Nice! Man, I wish I knew how to do stuff like this. Good job you guys!!
It’s legal here to do your own electrical if it’s your residence. Of course you’re supposed to get a permit and get it inspected but they’re not gonna look into a small project like this. I know codes from being in construction all my life so it would pass if I needed it to. People here do all kinds of stuff without permits, additions etc. You should see a couple of the houses in my neighborhood- dudes clearly had no idea how to build shit and yet they did, and got away with it. If they were to get inspected I guarantee they would have to tear them down.Did you do your own electrical? Over here to do anything you need a permit, then it's inspected by the town.

Yup. Same here. In fact I consulted with a master electrician, since I had the ability, and he’s a super nice guy. Didn’t charge me anything, and wouldn’t take anything for his time. I had power to the hot tub in a sub panel, so wanted to extend that power to the shed. So I spoke with him about how to do it to code. Did all the work myself, but with something like that, I wanted to make sure it was done correctly. Even dug my trench 18” down even though he said I only needed to do 12”.
